This one was new to me.

[slavic]

Stud 1 to 4 (7 players)

All 7 players call the bring in.
the hand then checks down to 6th street.

The dealer brings a community card on the river..

Ok I guess it is possible to run out of cards, and to sit in a game so passive nobody bets, but a community river? Why not just shuffle in the burns?

Either would be acceptable. While this is an extreme case, low limit stud can be very passive, especially when there's no ante or a very small one.

The rules may vary from room to room. At my local room, they would shuffle the burn for a community card in this particular scenario. I think the floor should probably have been called before the dealer did anything.

I can recall a hand at Canterbury, when the room had just opened. 15-30 stud, I'm the only guy that folds. A friend walks by, so I turn away for a moment to chat with him. When I turn back, there's a *mound* of chips in the center of the table, and all the other players still have hands. The dealer calls for the floorman, and deals a common card which makes one player a full house, and one player a straight flush.

The guy with the straight called 3 bets on the river, in case it was good [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

It seems like those community cards never help me. I've played several hands where one was necessary.

This happened once to me at the Hilton in Reno a couple years ago.
The way it was explained to me, in order to shuffle in the burn cards, there must be enough cards including the burn cards to allow for a burn and allow for one card to remain on the deck after 7th street is dealt, otherwise they deal a community card.
